So we're upgraded to WordPress 2.7(RC1) now and everything looks to be  
going smoothly.  I've also updated how the files are actually laid out  
in the document root to keep things better organized.  I've got a  
backup of the wordpress database pre-upgrade as well as the previous  
wordpress files, just in case we need to roll back.

As far as going forward, I don't mind helping with server and site  
administration.  Good communication between the people making changes  
on the box is certainly key, though.
